PGA Championship 2022: $18 beers and other food prices at Southern Hills

The prices of concessions at the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma, seem to be generating just as much buzz as Tiger Woods playing alongside Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy.

Prices for beers and other items at the tournament began circulating on social media Monday and raising eyebrows. A Michelob Ultra costs $18, while a Stella Artois costs $19. Cocktails are also $19, and a glass of wine will run you $13. Water is $6, and food ranges from $8 to $16.

Kerry Haigh, PGA of America chief championships officer, said Tuesday that the tournament's concessions pricing is "sort of comparable to stadium events" and that the organization is comfortable with where they are. He also explained that they are trying a new model of ticketing where fans attending rounds of the event starting Thursday can eat as much food and drink as many nonalcoholic drinks as they want for the price of their ticket.

As well they should be. You can’t get them anywhere else.

3. Most of the PGA money is from TV

Thomas said this in another tweet

In another tweet, Thomas said that given the price of concessions, one would have thought they would be playing for a $15 million purse this week. The purse for this week's tournament is $12 million.

5. This is MAGA country and Southern Hills is their Tulsa club house.

Food and drink are always expensive there and they aren't going to miss an opportunity to grift the tourists.
